In the case of dog breeds that means little because of human intervention and closed breeding for hundreds of generations to isolate for certain behaviors as well as physical traits. This compared to Homo Sapiens that have been moving around mixing with population after population for tens of thousands of years, there is no genetic isolation with humans comparable to dog breeds. Why would that be relevant? In fact if anything you're proving my point. If breeding for certain behaviors led to certain breeds being more intelligent than other, than that doesn't just indicate intelligence has a genetic factor, it proves it. Closed gene pool and bred specifically for certain traits for hundreds of generations with some going back thousands of years, of course you will see marked physical and behavioral deviations at that point from the original animal the wolf and within Canis familiaris itself. It's pointless to even try to draw a comparison to what we did with dogs to humans, a species that has never had that kind of genetic isolation on a macro scale like that. --- "If you want to move fast, practice slowly...if you want to move like lightning, practice in stillness." <cite>Taharqa_ posted [p:906600414] in Do you bel...
